sea saw

hello from the ocean. actually we are docked outside of le verdon, france. the ride from south hampton, England across the channel was quite rough and rocky. we spent yesterday at sea as well, me sleeping most of the dramamine off, and the kids losing their breakfast. they seem to be quite better off now and chose to forgo the hour and a half ride to bordeaux, the winery tours and tastings for staying on board to watch movies. 
after getting to bordeaux, we went for lunch where i seemed to sway back and forth waiting for the food to come. no more cruises for me.
the boat takes off about 8pm tonite, and we'll head off to bilbao, spain.

noah had a great time in paris, we rode the metro everywhere, walked, he handled a 3 hour lourve museum tour- he wanted to go- and see the mona lisa- and some of the paintings by david who painted napoleon's coronation scenes. (swear he chose that) ate crepes, berthillion ice cream, saw notre dame, bought mom some shoes and some hot wheels toys. sammi had a nice time with her nonni in salzburg, although we still can't quite get out of her what she did.

Aside from the queasy stomachs, sounds like you all are having a blast! I am so envious as I sit here with misbehaving students and horrible test grades. By the way, I was in the Winne Office for some cheerleading business, and I overhead someone say, "Noah Dane will be coming back the 23rd or 24th." I was about to say, "Hey! I know him!" Anyway, stay healthy. Ann
